Amazing tour operator
Our experience with Great Image Expedition was nothing short of amazing. Every moment of our trip was splendid and marvelous. We got more than we paid for and that is truly the essence of travel. All the hotels arranged for us were amazing. Luxury at its finest. The GIE team had great customer service and they ensured total customer satisfaction. If you want the best of the best. I would strongly suggest Great Image Expedition LTD tour company. We totally cannot wait to come back.

Wunderschöne spannende Safari mit einem tolle Team
It all started with a recommendation for Francisca's company in a forum about East Africa on Facebook. Upon direct request, we received a proposal for what we should do for the period announced by and as well as the expected costs. After several adjustments, which Francisca carried out quickly and reliably, we transferred the entire price. After about a week, Francisca received confirmation that the money had been received.
From the pick-up from the airport to the entire transport, the wonderful camps and the support from the excellent driver and guide, everything worked perfectly. Francisca was always available to answer questions via phone and WhatsApp.
We trusted Francisca from the start and were not disappointed. We can Nature Responsible Safari Company
unreservedly recommend.

excellent. great organisation tailored for our requests
My partner and I had absolutely the best time during our Safari. Martin had organised a perfect itinerary according to our request (we added a hike on Mt.Longnot) and can absolutely tailor your experience based to your needs and budget. Another reason why you should choose them is because they offer the most competitive prices for a private tour including 4/5 stars lodges and 4WD jeep, we couldn’t be more satisfied. Martin and Fred are excellent drivers, very knowledgeable of the territory and were open to any request we needed along the way. The hotel options were beautiful and the food always excellent. During our Safari both Martin and Fred were committed in spotting plenty of animals and made sure they did their best for us to enjoy the experience all the way through. Thank you so much again guys, and hopefully see you soon!

If you want a excellent tour, RIGHT CHOICE TOURS & SAFARIS is the only company to go with!
I can only describe Right Choice Tours & Safaris as AMAZING.
From the first email communication, I knew they wanted to provide the best service for us. They provided us with many options that suited whatever budget we had and modified anything we asked for. George, the tour organiser emailed us very promptly every time and was keen to answer all our questions. I even had an issue when my case did not arrive but George did all he could to contact the airline and help for the full trip.
Then we met our driver, Jacob. He is just brilliant and I would highly recommend you request him as your tour guide. The loveliest, friendlies man who made sure we had such a wonderful trip every day. He is very knowledgeable about all animals and the places we visited in Kenya. He made the tip so much more interesting and fun. This really was a trip of a lifetime and the success of the trip was all down to this tour company and Jacob.
The professionalism and organisation of this company is fantastic and enabled us to book last minute and know that everything would be taken care of. All we needed to do was enjoy the trip with no worries at all.
Thank you George and Jacob for the best trip that will stay in our memories for ever.

Redunca Safaris works very professionally, is very reliable and diverse
After two classic safaris, Godlove Shoo of Redunca Safaris has worked out a slightly different itinerary for us.
Our trip starts in Arusha National Park. A small natural paradise at the foot of Mount Meru with a view of Kilimanjaro. The varied landscape is simply breathtakingly beautiful. In the morning we are on a game drive with a photo stop at the famous fig tree gate. Godlove has chosen a romantic spot with a spectacular view of Kilimanjaro for the tasty picnic, perfect.
In the afternoon a foot stalk follows. Accompanied by an armed ranger, we walk along small streams, past a grazing herd of buffalo, follow a family of warthogs, to a fairytale rainforest with distant views as far as the Momella Lakes. And the ranger informs us in detail about fauna and flora.
We continue to the Mkomazi Natinalpark. For the next two nights we stay in one of the five tents of Babu's Camp, the only camp within the park.
Here we experience a completely different landscape and we enjoy the contrast to Arusha National Park. The dry barren savannah is flanked by the Usambara and Pare Mountains. The landscape is characterized by fever acacias , shaggy baobabs and red dust tracks. The animals are rather shy, nevertheless we have beautiful sightings, such as the rare Oryx antelopes, but above all we enjoy the deserted park. Godlove was able to arrange for the next day
a visit to the endangered black rhino sanctuary. We observe with two rangers for one hour two magnificent specimens of black rhinos. Many thanks to Redunca Safaris for this great experience.
A nice change are the two following days in the Usambara Mountains.
We enjoy different activities, harmoniously embedded in a relaxed day. We walk through small farms and their vegetable fields to a waterfall , stroll through the lively market in Lushoto. We hike up in the Magamba tropical rainforest to a viewpoint. Although we have a local guide with us who can explain a lot about the different plants and herbs and their uses, Godlove finds various chameleons, the black and white Colobus monkeys and squirrels. Arriving at the viewpoint we enjoy the view over the hilly mountain landscape. A must is the hike to Irente Viewpoint with spectacular views down the valley and a vesper at Irente Farm Lodge with brown bread and cheese, be sure to stay at Irente Cliff Lodge. The hiking is also a nice change from the constant sitting in the Landcruiser the days before.
The last leg of the round trip takes us to the coast to Emayani Beach Lodge. The overnight stay in an open built bungalow close to the beach is an experience. The wind and the sound of the sea pass through the room while you spend the night relaxing under the mosquito net. Early in the morning you watch the sunrise from your bed. We enjoy the friendly individual service and the good cuisine of the lodge. Again, Godlove has put together a varied program. We take a trip on the Pangani River , passing coconut palm plantations and mangroves and observe the bird life. For snorkeling we go by speedboat to the sandbank of Maziwe Island. We are the only guests and enjoy the white beach, the turquoise water, the colorful underwater world and the picnic under the canopy.
A big thank you for the good planning and perfect organization to Godlove Shoo from Redunca Safaris. He is not only able to offer the classic safari but can fulfill every customer wish and shows the guests his Tanzania in a wonderful way.

Avoid at all costs
The one (and only) good part of the safari was the driver Charles. He was incredibly knowledgeable, charismatic, talented wildlife spotter, and a safe driver.
Everything else about the safari was a scam - one lie after another. I was told we'd have 4 nights of lodges, but ended up with 1 night in a lodge and the rest in cheap camps/hotels. I was told the lodges were closed, but I called the lodge and confirmed they were open. I was told we couldn't visit a lake due to the weather forecast, but the forecast was perfect. The other tour members were told that we were skipping the lake because I didn't want to go there (outright lies). The itinerary was changed multiple times before we departed, with many destinations removed. To top it off, the owner told me he would meet me at the end of the tour to refund me, and unsurprisingly he never showed up.
Avoid this tour company at all costs. It's not worth ruining your Kenya experience.
Great Communication
We sadly had to cancel our trip with Mama Savana due to COVID border closures however we really appreciated Alex’s communication throughout the past few years. In booking the trip Alex was very responsive and accommodating to my requests. Finally when it became apparent we wouldn’t be allowed to travel over, we were able to come to an agreement which suited all parties. We understood that Mama Savana is a small operator who would see tough times in the year ahead, they understood that we were a family with a new baby who couldn’t travel any time soon and very much needed the funds to tide us over. As such, we ended up splitting the deposit. I appreciate Alex’s willingness to work with us to come to an arrangement which was fair and suited everyone. Great customer service!

Private luxury tour
Excellent safari with my friends, we all enjoyed my birthday party in Kenya and thanks for the party surprise and cultural dance. We love the Fairmont Mara Camp, we had our own deck and morning tea served in our deck. The hippos were making noise, experience was memorable. We saw a lot of animals in Ol Pejeta, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Thank you very much for all these!
